I'm Dying.

So yesterday Ace posted a sidebar item on these 'shreds' youtubes, where some brilliant damn idiots made wonderful improvements to old recordings.

The Hall & Oates one on the sidebar is like a gateway drug. From there I found more.

I'm really dying. This might be all for the ol' hunchback. It was nice knowing me.

10 Can you clarify please? One the one hand, we are all really dying from the moment of birth. This is natural and unavoidable thus far. Dying before your 'time' is something to be avoided if possible. Did the shreds cause this? Don't watch them. Is it something else?

I do recall that "Friday" song a few years back, and there were several versions of "shreds," although I don't know if they called them that at the time. One had me cracking up so bad, all the kings horses and all the kings men could not superglue me back together.

134 I don't know why they call it 'shreds.' I first saw this yesterday on the sidebar, same as you. Maybe it's sarcastic?

There's other videos, where while the singer is singing, the drummer starts randomly beating his drums over the voice, not even really rhythmically, and then the whole band goes into a horrible frenzy of discordant noisemaking. Those make me to piss myself.

I don't know why it's so funny to some and not to others. Just one of those things, I guess, like 'your Mom' jokes. If your mom is a whore, they're not funny.

So I guess what I'm saying is, if you don't find these funny it's probably because your mom is a whore.

192 As a guitar player who used to do a lot of studio work, one thing I refused to do was shred. Seriously. I would just lie and say I couldn't shred before I'd do it, even anonymously as a hired hand in the studio.

It's a cheap parlor trick that too many guitarists base entire careers around. Just IMHO of course.

I prefer players who play from the heart and soul, like David Gilmour and Andy Lattimer (Camel) or virtuosos like Steve Howe who don't sound all technical and "cold"

204 Something else that Trump needs to fix fast...

I was just speaking to a woman who had an environmental report I needed for the restaurant we bought for our daughter. She had almost bought this place about 8 months ago, but at the last second the bank refused a mortgage on her house that was going to pay for it.

The banks are afraid to finance anything.

Sure, some people who didn't qualify got mortgages at one time, but now the pendulum has swung way too far the other way.

Trump needs to eliminate the regulations and get this country back to taking reasonable risks.

But your point is well taken- if adbul-ralph is part of the (sur)reality based dumbocrats, why's he cryin' about jobs when his earflapped daddy got "unemployment" to less than 5%?

Page's guitar solo in "Heartbreaker" featuring rapid-fire runs of notes tapped only by the left hand, was a major inspiration to the later work of metal soloists and "shredders" such as Eddie Van Halen and Steve Vai.
